Summary
Could the latest Detroit Red Wings star be from Russia - and is he on his way?
Tune in as we discuss the news of Dmitri Buchelnikov's Vityaz team in the KHL potentially dissolving, meaning he would be free to join the Grand Rapids Griffins and/or the Detroit Red Wings sooner than expected - what would that mean for other prospects like Brandsegg-Nygard (3:55)? Also, Steve Yzerman signing Jesse Kiiskinen to his entry-level contract, and what's next for the Finnish star (15:10).
With Jason Robertson in trade rumors, would he be a worthwhile add for Steve Yzerman to bolster the Detroit Red Wings offense alongside Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Alex DeBrincat, Marco Kasper, and Patrick Kane? Would Sandin Pellikka, Danielson, or more be the ask, and how would his contract compare to Rantanen's? (19:30)
After that, notes on Brock Nelson and Yanni Gourde signing, a conversation on income tax advantages in the NHL (36:20), and whether Jonathan Toews, Max Pacioretty, and Nic Hague could be potential Detroit Red Wings additions by Steve Yzerman (47:10).
Next, our 2025 NHL Entry Draft Prospect Profile on Cullen Potter (and whether his comparisons to Dylan Larkin are accurate) as well as a revisit on Radim Mrtka (54:35).
All of that & lots more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:06:40) - enjoy!

| 0:14.5 | on the Detroit Red Wings, the NHL, and all things hockey. |
| 0:19.1 | Here are your hosts, Brian Hanna, Brad Criscoe, and Evan Lopsinger. |
| 0:28.6 | No other dreams, Evan, to forewarn us about? |
| 0:34.4 | No dreams today. |
| 0:36.0 | Do you dream often or is it just like droid back to your |
| 0:40.0 | charging station, turn off, turn on? That's right. Yeah. No, nothing. No hockey related. No visions |
| 0:45.8 | for the Red Wings for this upcoming season. I saved those typically for my nightmares. |
| 0:52.7 | But no, nothing. |
| 0:54.5 | No blockbuster moments over the past few days. |
| 0:56.7 | A couple people after hearing your Mitch Marner dream, your premonition, they're like, |
| 1:01.2 | does Evan not know what like vivid dreams are? |
| 1:03.9 | Like this just feels like a vivid dream. |
| 1:05.2 | I'm like, no, Evan was made in a lab like nine years ago for the purpose of this podcast, |
| 1:10.2 | I think. |
| 1:10.5 | So I think that was probably your first one of your first five dreams in your life. |
| 1:15.2 | Definitely the first one about the Red Wings in a long time. |
| 1:18.7 | Something like when I think it's a common thing with Swedish players, they would say they |
| 1:23.1 | really felt comfortable playing North America when they started dreaming in English. |
| 1:26.7 | That's when Evan really feels comfortable with the Detroit Red Wings when he starts |
| 1:30.5 | dreaming about podcast-related stuff. |
| 1:32.8 | The content writes itself apparently. |
